POLISH UP ON YOUR BRUSHING TECHNIQUE!

Stay healthy with these 5 steps to brushing:
1. Hold your brush at a 45 degree angle at the gum line, moving the brush slightly while working your way around the mouth. Don’t forget the chewing surfaces of teeth.
2. Brush in the right direction- AWAY from your gums. Brushing toward them will eventually push your gum tissue back, causing root exposure and sensitivity.
3. Know your blind spots- Right-handers have diffuculty cleaning the right as left-handers do the left. Spend time on your weak side (even though you have that awkward wrist turn.)
4. Use a GENTLE grip- Like you’re holding a pen, NOT a tennis racket!!
5. Nuke your brush! Put your manual toothbrush in a cup of clean water. Keep it bug-free by putting it in the microwave. 650-watt microwave for 60 seconds, 1,100 watts- 35 seconds.

Dr.Donskoy and her team are the most professional staff I've ever encountered. They are not only compassionate, but I can truly say they have made me feel so relaxed as I like many people have anxiety going to the dentist. She also was extremely fair with a family member who I brought in for an extraction without insurance. I recommend her in house plan if you have none!!
I will continue to see her, and highly recommend her services.

Your service is much appreciated. No body likes going to the Dentist but your staff is excellent. And your office is neat and clean. I am happy that my wife and I switched from our previous dentist. So members of UFCW Local 1776 we can honestly recommend this dentist. Good job Wendell Young !
